LAS VEGAS — One of the first indications of how Nevada's Republican caucuses would turn out came Saturday morning, when 45 voters congregated in a classroom at a southwest Las Vegas high school.Blue ballots with the names of the four presidential candidates were collected, the precinct's votes were counted, then announced: Mitt Romney, 35 votes; Ron Paul, six votes;...

I trust all Colorado Voters will google Kansas City Star Article of 2 Feb 2012, titled "Romney stock trades clash with divestment pledge". Having served 26 years 18 days of Honorable service and having lost friends during Iran hostage debacle, with problems in middle east, it rankles me that our potential president had investments with companies, who dealt with Iran, China, and other countries who are not our friends. Also investing in companies involved with stem cell research not permitted in U.S. after he changed from Unafiliated in 1994, promising in 2007 that he and his trust funds would invest only in line with his beliefs, and professed positions. In 2010, trust funds (family and Mitt's) finally divested these investment, when he announced he was campaigning for President. Don't take my word for it, look up Kansas City.Com and read the article. I would support any of the candidates who initially announced, but this article, in combination with googling for Bain Capital, and Mitt Romney, Capital Capital and Bain Capital Ventures, I decided against Mitt until he explains this. If he can. Somehow I suspect that the TRUST FUND is not blind to Mitt, since his family also had investments. If it is, then R. Bradford Malt, the lawyer handling the fund did not serve him well. And I don't buy that at present. Also his actions in Florida with the campaign and in Nevada of name calling and false speeches, does not fit my past experience with Mormon Friends who belived in "turn the other cheek" , and "Judge not, that ye not be judged".

Congratulations to Mitt Romney, a fine business leader and politician. There is plenty of work remaining to win the nomination and take on Obama. The choice will be clear. Obama will continue his class warfare, assaults on private property, and vote buying. Romney will counter with a message of conservative values embracing economic freedom, limited government, and compassion.

Yeah Dave you didn't get the percentage of disenfranchised Republicans who don't like the establishments direction with McCain? Study the percentage of Republicans who will not EVER vote the status quo very carefully. Who in their right mind thinks Ron Paul supporters will vote for any establishment Republican? Paul will draw the vote away from the establishmnet and go 3rd party if he has too. Remember there are Gingrich supporters who will not vote Romney either just because of the R. Going to seal the fate of the party with the protest vote for a second time Insanity and you just stay in Wonderland with the rest of the blue pill takers. BTW that is pretty ironic that you picked the avatar of Trinity and there is another poster who has had the avatar it since she has been here who is actually a red pill eater.

Keep your head down, yet another Matrix scholar is stalking you. Your av seems to bring them out from the woodwork.

I agree with your post. There is plenty of reasons not to vote for that crazy old fool, but the most damning in my opinion is that so many of the young and uniformed have formed a cult around his nomination. And that is enough for me to dismiss the old fool out of hand.

Should the people instead vote for the immoral, lying, cheating, grandstanding, back-room lobbiest Newt Gingrich? He embodies all of the worst traits of Republicans, and even some of the goofy traits of Democrats. A man who will lie to his wives and lie to the American people simply can't be trusted. Compared to him, I might be willing to vote for the Alaskan dust bunny who ruining things for McCain.

Ron Paul might be on the goofy side, but at least he's willing to try and undo all the damage that's been done to our Constitution by Republicans and Democrats alike. He's the only candidate who's willing to make the hard choices needed to eliminate (not reduce) our annual deficit and make substantial efforts to pay off our crushing debt.

I'm still waiting for your proof that you have legal permission to use your avitar. I guess people who are willing to steal copyrighted images and intellectual properties will say anything to justify their behavior.

Crime has decreased since retail marijuana was legalized, but the Denver Post won't tell you because it interferes with their prohibitionist propaganda.

Romney wouldn't be my first pick but I'll gladly support him against 0bama who might be the worst qualified president in the history of the Republic. For those of us who actually looked into his political career and background its still stunning that this guy won the Democrat nomination.

I'd hardly call it a cult but in your spelling mishap you came close to the truth: Our young people in uniform seem to be going for Ron Paul in a big way. In the last quarter of 2011, he received three times more campaign contributions from members of the military than Obama and six times that of all the other Republican candidates combined. http://www.ronpaul2012.com/2012/02/03/r ... 4combined/

It never would have happened without Donald Trump's endorsement!! We were thinking and praying that Trump would endorse Newt Gingrich....but I guess the 1% always take care of the 1% and we will remember that! Ya, it was a victory, but I don't think Romney should be too happy when he had 11,822 votes FOR him, and 12,991 NOT for him! Romney has turned a heck of a lot of us off and we will never vote for him! We will vote for a 3rd party candidate.....or we will simply stay at home! Unlike that guy Romney, we have principles we stand on.....whether you like them or not....we stand by our principles...something Romney and Trump will never understand! We TeaPublicans ARE taking America back....and we are NOT going to back that guy Romney!

The GOP has nothing....the Tea Party Members polluted the whole party....and the intelligent republicans are trying to clean it up...Romney, Paul and who ever is left are way better than newt...I men running newt...really?

Final numbers still aren't out yet, and many precincts in Clark Count (Vegas area) still aren't in yet. And Romney is getting 58% of the vote in that country. His lead should widen as more of those precincts report.

You say that now, but I suspect (and hope) you'll change your mind by the time November rolls around, after the sting of the nomination battle is long since behind us.

The nomination battle between Hillary and Obama was just as nasty (well, almost as nasty... Newt has gone kinda overboard on nastiness this time). Yet by Nov nearly all Hillary Dems voted for Obama in 2008.

Any Republican that doesn't want to see Obama reelected had better do the same (vote for Romney this Nov over Obama).

I LOVE the Tea Party's goals of smaller govt, lower spending, not raising taxes, and getting deficits/debt under control. And I love what they were able to accomplish in the 2010 elections. And I think 99.9% of them will be smart enough to see that Romney, while a moderate, is still miles better than Obama. Remember that Congress is where most policy is made. Obama would veto a lot of what a Republican Congress would send him, Romney wouldn't. And don't forget Supreme Court replacements that will likely be taking place in the next term.

Udall vs Gardner isn't really about Udall or Gardner.

It's about HARRY REID, and whether he gets to keep his job as Senate Majority Leader. Do you like the job he's done making Congress function for the last 8 years? Yes? No?

Romney was already ahead in Nevada before the Trump endorsement. You're entitled to your own opinion of the candidates, not your own facts.
